A message from Carder Steuben Club President

Last year we ran a small Glass Show as part of the Carder Steuben Symposium for the first time. It was well-received by both Symposium attendees and the participating member/dealers, so we are going to hold the show again this year.
We are making some changes based on our experience at the show and the comments and feedback we received. We are moving from the Carder Room to the Ballroom to provide more space for dealers to setup and attendees to socialize. We are shortening the setup and show hours to better reflect our experience. We are also going to provide better food.

The move to the larger room, which is almost three times as big, is going to result in an increase in the Club’s cost for the show. We are increasing the table rental fee from $25 to $35 to recover part of that increase. We will increase the total number of participants and tables, but this will remain a small, highly-focussed show, limited to between 25 and 30 tables. At least 75% of the glass displayed must be Carder Steuben.

We have received renewals from most of the dealers who participated in last year’s show but we still have approximately ten tables available. If you would like to participate in the show, please complete and mail the attached contract and return it to Lon Knickerbocker with your check by May 15, 2011.

I would also appreciate it if you would send an email to me at elvidant@aol.com, indicating that you plan on participating in the show and the number of tables you would like.

Thanks,
David Goldstein
